wax museum- plan your own!

This year's Wax Museum was as fun as ever. My team decided to go as characters from Matilda. I was Headmaster Trunchbull.

The Trunch is a meanie. My students thought it was hilarious. Becuase seriously, I'm the third nicest person they know. I'm always telling them that... I don't know who the first two are, but I'm probably third

One of our teammates was on outside morning duty- she missed out on a few pics! Here's Matilda's mom- Mrs. Wormwood, me as the Trunch, and Miss Honey.

Third-grade teachers rock!

And here's Matilda joining us for a group picture.

This was my last year to have one of my own kids involved in Wax Museum. Here's Lou, my fifth grader, as a character from the early 1900s.

Lou won best costume! Finally! I've been handmaking Lou and Bee's costumes for years and we finally brought home some hardware! Lou is wearing a pair of his own shorts, a women's striped shirt (don't tell him it's a ladies shirt!), hat, and black shoes from the thrift store. We borrowed suspenders from a Miley Cirus costume from a friend (again, shh...) and black soccer socks from his sister.

Inside you will find everything you need to organize your own classroom or even school-wide wax museum. There are lots of pictures and even more teacher notes.

Here's the overall assignment for the kiddos: You will read a fiction book, then write and present a report about the author from a main character’s perspective. You will present their report in first person, as if you are the character, speaking about the author who created you –like you are a part of a Living Wax Museum.
